I don't care whether or not they're strapped in place; you've got to be
absolutely bonkers to do that stuff.

As an advertising medium, you would think the aircraft's wings lent themselves
more to something like Depends or BVDs than skincare.

People still pay to go bungie-jumping.

I remember when they were advertising pseudo-butter, and confectionery
before that - again, not much logic there.

I suppose that there would be some logic to their being sponsored by a
low-cost airline, which would also give the more satirically-minded of
us a little amusement.

But doesn't government safety regulation prohibit the more
extreme stunts? I know that in a reaction to accidents that
occurred during the barnstorming of the 1920's there were
regulations put in place. I am just not sure about the limits
of those regulations. Have the stunts of the 1920's been
forever outlawed?

I concur. If I wanted to commit suicide, I'd tie the rope around my neck,
not my ankles. ;-)

Bungie jumping is GREAT GREAT GREAT - by the way.

The upcoming photos show women hanging from
the wheels and wing struts - I don't know what
other stunts are needed......

It would depend on how much they paid you.

From what's been said on the commentary at shows I've been to, it can
also depend on how much *you* pay *them*.

Well, that's one Christmas present sorted,then. Although, for some
strange reason, when I mentioned the idea she didn't seem very thrilled...

Unfortunately, my anti-virus software flagged that site up as a
"suspicious site".

On the other hand, a quick whois and google turned up this picture:

The contestants for this must be absolutely, 100%, without a shadow of a
doubt, barking mad!

Why? It's great fun! You run, climb over stuff, swim under stuff,
dive into stuff, wade through mud, etc, etc.

The virus on the site has apparently now been removed, try again.
